Premium Member My reflection, fragile and desperate face that gazes at me from the silence of the mirror
My reflection, fragile and desperate face that gazes at me from the silence of the mirror, I despise you for the dark shadows you’ve planted in my soul without consent, You’ve brought a desperate version of me into the gallery of lost reflections, Leaving the memory of tears silently flowing in bathroom stalls, Yet you defied my wishes, tearing...

Black Hole Eyes
O blackish-blue-eyed girl with eyes lined with ember, who dreams of clouds and endless skies, Let me gaze into your eyes, once more, as they bloom like a flower, pulling me into their depths. O girl with captivating eyes, grant me the chance to love you once again. A violent storm arose, dust swirled, veiling the earth, and in the sky, I saw your mesmerizing eyes, drawing me into you, like...

New Kiss
Next year will be the year, The year you're here. The year you're here for that new Kiss. That kind of kiss that goes down once a year, Right after all that is old passes by. It passes by like you pass me by, You pass me up you pass me by. I look forward to that night, That night you stay awhile. When...

Premium Member Desperate Plea
O moon so full and bright shine on my love and I tonight. Arouse her to acquiesce – it’s been months since she said Yes! Why rush us naked in the backseat of the car with our passions in a heat when hope wears thin, so too the thrill, and if you don’t act soon, we will. ...

Desperate Measures
I repeatedly said NO to becoming a circle member On several different occasions as I can remember The things that are done are really not such a secret Harvest, harness, control who's targeted as a threat Wanting nothing of the cult, coven, or secret society Stalked, alone, isolated with paranoia and anxiety Taunting me with fear, so I would not tell...

Dry and Desperate
This longing in my heart A yearning as deep as the ocean An emptiness in my soul A void as the depth of the hades Like a fallen branch from off the vine I am as dead as the dried leaf Sired by a bloated wish and questions Hungry I am for a will to fulfill Lost to the course of myself The...

Letting go
I feel empty, but sane A flower surrounded by rain Lost in my mess of thoughts From all the sayings I've been taught 'Life gives you lemons, Make lemonade.' But just like me, the flavor will fade 'Patients is the key to greatness.' But I've been waiting, yet I'm still filled with loneliness My life is boring and...

Be Mine
Eventually, I get everything I want, Even if my list goes endlessly, But now, In this moment, All I want Are ur arms, Ur hands, Ur eyes, To be mine to look at I want something, That I can't have And it hurts Like crazy To fall asleep, With u beside me, So I won't have to pretend, Or dream, That you were here To escape This wretched, Twisted reality, With you by my side, All I want... All...

Desperate Hope
“Hope becomes desperate when the view is the sun.” - Quote by Poet Tomorrow seems far away, Today hides something needed, Today veils something to be seen, Tomorrow heralds a different pursuit. There’s a call to come, There’s a summon from the deep, Light is leaving to another room, Though not lost but...

While gelid breezes of winter, quiver emotions of decaying rays, And arc of horizon cedes to dusk, evoking grimace of malaise, Casting shadows tenebrous, shrouding glimmer of a slowing day, Desperate hope lingers still, in resplendence of autumn’s decay; Gawking in yonder, where gamboge-orange woodlands fade, Reminiscing in seasons harkening, realms of love now evade, Mindful of the broken vows, when...

Desperate Hope’s a friend of mine. All too well do I know him. He doesn’t come around much now except when things get really grim. New remedies sometimes he brings, and then my trust in him renews. But like his other things I’ve tried, the “new thing” just ends up old news. He comes in guise of people who make awesome promises to me. Doctors...
